If anxiety feels worse at night, you’re not alone.

Quiet rooms, body sensations, and the pressure to fall asleep can make your nervous system feel like it’s on high alert. You might feel fine in the day, then get into bed and suddenly feel wired. Or you wake up at 2am or 3am with a rush of adrenaline and your mind instantly goes into fear mode.

In this episode, I explain why night time anxiety can feel so intense, what’s really happening when you wake up panicking or restless, and the four common mistakes that accidentally keep the cycle going.

You’ll also learn a simple step by step response plan to follow in the moment, plus a short script you can use at 3am to stop the spiral and retrain your nervous system.
